in Introduce Yourself
Hello wonderful people! :) I am looking for support in my fitness journey here as a runner and Yogi! I did a great job toning up a few years ago and it changed my running game!!! I would love to be able to do that again. I have slowly gained back the weight I shedded the first time around. It has been a struggle! I have a major sweet tooth and give myself too much room because I workout ha Hope to find some support!!

    Yes! About 3 years ago I changed up my diet and was PRing again. I want to get back to that lifestyle! I also won't mind those PRs again 😁

    Nothing better than beatig your PR' s. Do you use strava at all to compete against others

    Haha yeah I have used Strava off and on. I think I get weird about it though, sometimes I feel like people are looking at my diary when they follow my runs and rides. Running can be weirdly personal for me sometimes. I do like doing challenges with Garmin though. A good college friend I will do that😁

    Plenty of time to lose a few pounds before you start training then. Good luck!

    I’ve gotten into distance running here as of late and would like some like minded individuals for that extra kick in the *kitten* at times.
